Uninstall the trial version and install your STE version. The key for the
retail package will not work on the Trial version.

As a perminent fix i would suggest you get the document digitally signed
that way you can leave the security at an elevated level.

I think there is a program which signs documents and thats on the office

Re-installing, re-registering Office XP?

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 09:33 AM PDT

If you own a legal license for Office, you may install it on your system,
even if your system changes, as long as it's your system and you abide by
the number of licenses you have purchased. If your system changes, then you
re-install it, the activation via the Internet may fail. If it does, then
use the telephone activation method and explain the hardware change to the
operator. They can get the product activated for you over the telephone.

Trial Version vs Retail

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 07:01 AM PDT

Well...not exactly <grin>. What Microsoft has said is that the Add/Remove
Programs removes the most of the Office information that they are
comfortable removing without messing up people's systems. They claim it's
very clean--which is why they didn't create a removal utilitiy--but I don't
know what all remains after that.

After that, there's a Windows Installer Cleanup utility that you can run
that will remove entries in the registry related to installation of Office,
but it won't remove other registry entries that Office created and didn't
uninstall.

I have not yet seen a comprehensive article or posting about manually
removing it, either, so if it's worth it to you, you might give Microsoft
Support a call. In most cases, whatever's left is not likely to cause any
problems with ongoing system operation.

Only if the buyer agreed to a EULA.

HOWEVER, the Office EULA states that it must be installed on an operating
system that the user is licensed for.

So, while purchasing the computer is perfectly legal, and it's legal for me
to use it without any licenses for the software isntalled, it is illegal for
me to install any other Microsoft software on this WinXP machine. Oops.

The .iso could be freely downloaded.
 
 

Why not install the i386 kernel and built a i586 one on your own,
or download the i586 package David showed?

Beside that RH 9 is EOL since nearly a year. Better get your
hands on something supported. There are various distro freely
download-able (www.distrowatch.com) or so.
 

I'd try Debian (Sarge), runs like a charm on older systems.
Doesn't cost you more then downloading the 100 MB .iso and a
fresh CD-R to put it on. It leaves you with a text based install,
you can install GUI/etc later from the internet with 'apt-get'.

Good luck

Mike i also wanted a suggestion from you. I am trying to create an
Inventory Schedule. I have the list of tasks and the
materials(equipments) required to complete the task. Is it possible to
know from the schedule the total inventory consumed (in case of works
done) and total inventory required for future tasks. This will help me
know when to order for new inventory (in future).

I hope the above makes sense and appreciate your effort to solve my
problem.

Thanks

Never, ever, under any circumstances, assign resources to summary tasks.
Summaries are roll-ups of the performance tasks and in a very real sense
don't actually exist as tangible events like "real" tasks do - they are
purely artifacts inserted for convenience in organization and reporting.

Separting costs for internal and external resources

Posted: 23 Dec 2004 07:11 AM PST

Hi ProjectFly,

I can arrive at a partial answer using the Resource Group field in a task
view. Enter the Internal or External information on the resource sheet in
the Group Field. You may then add the Resource Group field to any task view
and see which group the assigned resources are from.
You can then add one of the custom Cost fields and show costs where only
internal or external resources are assigned using a formula like:
IIf([Resource Group]= "Internal", [Cost], 0)
Use another cost field to test whether the resource group equal "External".

The challenge becomes when you have both internal and external resources
assigned to a single task. I have not yet be able to come up with a way to
parse that information and determine which part of the cost belongs to which
resource in Project.

Another option is to start with the beginning suggestion (use the resource
Group field) and then export that information to Excel. I used the Export
Map "Task List with embedded assignment rows" and modified the map to add the
Resource Group field. Once in Excel, it becomes much easier to manipulate
the data.

Hope this helps partially and perhaps another reader can respond with a
better answer. I'll keep plugging away and will post with a possible
solution when I find one.

Summary Task Duration Adding to Fraction

Posted: 23 Dec 2004 06:17 AM PST

You may have an overlap of 2 or more tasks within the summary or there may
be a delay in the link between a couple of tasks. The duration of a summary
task is not the aritmetic sum of the durations of its component subtasks
except by accident.

probelms with attaching files and saving files

Posted: 14 Mar 2009 01:31 PM PDT

If you're using gmail you need to check with Google on how to make the
appropriate settings for attachments.

The program originating the document has nothing to do with creating the
attachment. Just make sure you always save your files with filename
extensions using the checkbox for that purpose in the Save As dialog. Its
also a good idea to zip/stuff the file you intend to send as an attachment
regardless of whether it's going to a Mac user or a PC user.

As is Diane, I'm completely baffled by the way you mixed in the "data memory
chip" business. There really isn't any way that normal copying of a file
should cause a change in the file type. If you'll clearly describe exactly
what you're doing perhaps a suggestion can be offered.

Is there a trial version of Office Mac 2008?

Posted: 13 Mar 2009 09:12 AM PDT

Additional to Diane's reply, Office 2008 had more than its share of problems
when it was first released. In all fairness, however, MacBU has worked
continuously to correct & improve the release. The 12.1.0 (SP1) update & the
12.1.5 update have put 2008 on a much more acceptable plane. I'm pretty sure
we'll see at least one more major update before long... But that's just my
impression. Even if I'm wrong there will certainly be additional interim
updates that will continue to make it even more stable & reliable. As you
infer, it has nowhere near the problems as it once had and definitely not as
bad as many would have you believe :-)

It depends on your requirements & need for macros since VBA is not supported
at all - nor will it be added to this version. It has already been
announced, however, that Office "Next" will bring VBA back.

When I click on the popup menu, it gives me the option to show Albums and

Are we talking about using this in Entourage or Word? 

That's usually the case to show updated photos. I was just adding some new

On Print Command program crashes

Posted: 10 Mar 2009 09:20 AM PDT

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully others will benefit from the info :-)

Most people have a tendency to blame the program they're printing from when
printing problems occur, but that's seldom where the problem lies. It just
appears that way because that's where the user witnesses the problem. It's
even more deceptive because they may have no problem printing from other
programs, but different programs call for differing levels of print service
from the OS as well as from the printer.

Glad you managed to get it resolved.

Office 2001 and Mac

Posted: 08 Mar 2009 05:38 PM PDT

According to what you describe you have the *packaging* for Office 2001
(version 9.x) but the disk within is Office X (version 10.x) and what you
originally posted would confirm that since Office X does in fact require OS
X 10.x or later. Office 2001 will not run in OS X except where Classic
(9.x.x) is supported & actively installed.

Somewhere along the line the new version disk got stored in the old version
package - there's no way it could have shipped like that unless the vendor
you bought it from made the switch. Even that would have had to take place
after Office X started shipping. That's not unheard of, I guess, but it
isn't very likely... And if you had tried to install Office X on an OS 9.x
Mac you would have not been able to do so.

Maybe you are right, however I'd have to get my ISP to do it, so it becomes

Always prompted to log on to CRM

Posted: 20 Jul 2004 09:27 AM PDT

Dave,

I just read in another posting that IE considers any address containing a
period to be on the internet. IE then prompts for the user credentials,
knowing that integrated security will not usually run across the internet.

When I set up CRM on SBS2003 I created a CNAME alias for the CRM machine in
DNS. This must match the host header associated with the site in IIS. The
user can then start CRM by typing the CNAME (like http://crmweb) in the
address bar of IE.

What is the url address you are using to access CRM from a client machine?

in that table the objecttypecode tells you which CRM object the entry refers
to. You could create an identical field name in a lead and opportunity so
that first field tells you which object it referes to ie opportunity is type
3, account is type 1 etc.

Hi Darryl,

There was an issue with version 1.0 where the above solution was needed, I'm not aware of any other possible reasons why you may be experiencing this.

When you upgraded from Std to Pro did you just remove the Std licenses and then add the new licenses to each user? Or have there been other changes aswell?

Problems with Outlook 2003

Posted: 20 Jul 2004 03:42 AM PDT

You are correct in that CRM can only support the Default instance for SQL.
However, I know of no issues with installing the SFO client on a machine that
has SQL running on it.

It seems that you are referring to running the SFO client on the same machine as
the SQL server that is functioning as the SQL Server for the actual CRM install.
That's the only way the I can think of a conflict.

Unable to view all CRM records

Posted: 19 Jul 2004 08:37 PM PDT

Thankyou for your responses guys ... this has definitely pointed me in the
right direction.

It is a strange one as I have also now tried re-assigning records to myself
(Sys Admin + adding myself as CEO/Biz Manager Security Role for the
organisation) but when the record assign back to the user, I, cannot even
open the records.

I can only assume because of the non-migration of the Security Descriptor
fields - security is still pointing to the old Active Directory objects. Now
that they are deleted, the pointers lost, and the existing records are in
security limbo -as the security objects in AD can no longer be referenced.

Combined with this is the 'Developer' error pages also signify that the COM
Proxy component cannot even be loaded for the 'old' pages that I try to
view.... is fairly messy although I had to expect this to come back and bite
in someway.

If you guys have anymore input into methods to overcome this I am all open
ears... but otherwise thanks again.
